Dario Benedetto's agent made a long point about his future and confirmed the Boca Juniors track. The Argentinian club are organizing to get their hands on the striker from this month of January.
The arrival of Arkadiusz Milik at OM has dampened the hopes of Dario Benedetto . The Argentine striker saw his playing time decrease considerably last season and was forced to go into exile during the summer transfer window to regain playing time. Linked to OM until June 2022 with an optional year, Benedetto was loaned to Elche until the end of the season. But in La Liga, the Argentina striker faces the same difficulties as in Marseille, namely lack of efficiency in front of goal. Disappointing performances, which do not encourage OM to bring him back. Dario Benedetto no longer fits the plans of Jorge Sampaoli and should no longer belong to the Marseille club beyond this season. The 31-year-old is going to have to find a base, but has already expressed his preference in an interview with TYC Sports: “I said that when I left OM. I will come back to Boca, whether as a supporter or as a player. I am grateful to the supporters of Boca for all the affection they have towards me. I hope to be able to come back as soon as possible ”. And according to the Argentinian press, the interest is mutual.
Boca Juniors ready to advance its pawns for Benedetto
TYC Sport announces that Boca Juniors has made Dario Benedetto its top priority, along with Angel Romero , for the next winter transfer window. The player has a purchase option set between € 3m and € 4m. An amount that should go to OM . But according to the Argentinian media, the Argentine formation is ready to make a financial effort. But before getting their hands on Dario Benedetto, Boca Juniors will have to sell Sebastian Villa at Dynamo Kiev. The South American club hopes to recover around 9M € thanks to this sale, which could allow him to take action in the case Benedetto . Asked about the player's future, Christian Bragarnik confirmed the track Boca Juniors.
“His idea is to come back to Boca”
Questioned by Argentinian radio La Red, Dario Benedetto's agent took stock of his future at OM a few days ago and did not close the door to returning to Boca Juniors. ” of Benedetto on a return to Boca? I didn't hear it, I didn't know. If he said that, I'm going to have to call him in another role haha. Because I hope that he continues and that he scores goals at Elche, we are happy with his arrival.The player comes from Olympique de Marseille, he has a contract until June 2022 with Elche. I have a special relationship with him. If Boca is interested, we will have to see and speak with Marseille. I am not aware of any progress in such a situation. It wouldn't be crazy for Benedetto to return to Boca. I would like him to stay in Elche, but players of this importance? We will have to assess it. It's not crazy because he always knew, and he always told me, that his idea is to end up there and come back to Boca ”he confided. The situation could quickly change in this case.
